Config.php
- to turn it on, go to config.php and uncomment:
- $CFG->tracksessionip= True;
// If this setting is set to true, then Moodle will track the IP of the // current user to make sure it hasn't changed during a session. This // will prevent the possibility of sessions being hijacked via XSS, but it // may break things for users coming using proxies that change all the time, // like AOL.
